School camps are part of what makes our education system unique. They’re supposed to be a fun, memorable experience for all kids. However children who wet the bed at night can find the lead up to school camp worrisome and distressing.

As parents it is our job to put a plan into place to help reassure our children so they can relax and have a positive experience.

Bedwetting is more common than you may think. Around 5% of school aged children wet at night, so there is likely to be at least 1 or 2 children per class who will be trying to figure out how best to cope with their bedwetting while on camp.

Not all children, but most school age children will want to deal with their bedwetting discreetly and you should be able to reassure your child and have a plan in place.
